…then you definitely want to install this Firefox extension that seamlessly integrates del.icio.us with Firefox’s internal bookmarking system: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3615/.
Really, it just feels right. It works just how it would if you designed it yourself. Seamless. Flawless. I’ve been bookmarking about 20x more links since I started using this tool. Love it. Install it now.
Notes
- During the installation process be sure to click “sync” to avoid losing your current Firefox bookmarks and links-bar bookmarklets.
- Don’t worry, you can still save private bookmarks by clicking “Do Not Share” during the normal bookmarking process.
- You can still use “keyword search” and navigation keywords, but it’s a bit non-obvious. To create a keyword, save your link, then save it again to see the keywords field show up.
Enjoy!

Hi Nate,
You said to “click sync” during the installation. I saw no “sync” to click. So I lost my bookmarks.
However, as mentioned in the installation, you can uninstall the extension and the bookmarks return.

I did it, worked great, but blew away all my existing bookmarks in my toolbar. The uninstall work great as well and actually did restore all the bookmarks in my toolbar.

Blew away my bookmarks but fortunately I’d read the previous 2 posts!
Works great, but the problem is all my bookmarks are already stored on del.icio.us and it looks like I’d tediously have to go through each of them and manually bookmark them in firefox to have them available in firefox bookmarks.

how is it done?
how do they disappear and after the uninstall reappear?
